I appreciate your active involvement in this matter, Alex. I’m here to assist you in evaluating the configuration and identifying any additional elements that could affect the speed of your operations.
The Network Data file (.ND) contains the IP address of the server where your company file is hosted. Please verify that this IP address matches the current server's IP, as any discrepancies can lead to connectivity issues.
In addition, the server name is found in the middle of the file, while the QuickBooks Database Manager version is listed at the end. Ensure that these details accurately reflect your current setup.
The .ND file also includes the port number used for communication. It’s important to confirm that this port is open in your firewall settings to allow QuickBooks to function correctly over the network.
If you notice any corruption or incorrect information, consider deleting or renaming the existing .ND file and use the QuickBooks Database Server Manager to rescan your folders. This will create a new .ND file with updated settings.
